|---|---|
| Home run hitter as a ball carrier. Impressive acceleration and straight-line speed allow him to blow past defenders and take explosive angles. Packs a significant punch when he can get going. Solid pass protector too. | More of a straight-ahead runner than a cutter. Struggles to outmaneuver defenders when squared up in open space. Questions about his vision as he’d run straight into the back of his offensive linemen and fail to attack the gap or cutback lane. |
OVERVIEW: Singleton began his college career in the spotlight. After being named the Gatorade National Player of the Year and a 5-star prospect out of high school, he burst onto the scene during his debut campaign with 1,061 rushing yards, at 6.8 yards per carry, and 13 total touchdowns. However, he never quite reached the same level of production. He did tally a second 1,000-yards season in 2024, but then saw a significant drop-off in production as a senior.
